The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Sydney 2025, John Hesse crossed the line in 1:18:22: 616th of 1,587 men, faster than 61% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 70% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 48% on the stations. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 0:36. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:19 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Sydney 2025 and Brisbane 2025 were 3:57 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
